Namal Rajapaksa
The Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court yesterday issued a reminder to the Attorney General (AG) to expedite legal advice relating to a money laundering investigation involving Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Namal Rajapaksa and four others.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) informed Court that it has not yet received the AG’s advice on the future legal action to be taken against the suspects.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama fixed further magisterial inquiry into the case for 30 July.
The suspects named by the CID are Namal Rajapaksa, Sudarshana Bandara Ganewatta, Nithya Senani, Sujani Bogollagama, and Indika Prabhath Karunajeewa.
The Financial Crimes Investigation Division, which initially handled the investigation, had previously informed Court that investigations revealed alleged money laundering amounting to Rs. 15 million at NR Consultation Ltd., and a further Rs. 30 million at Gowers Corporation Ltd., in 2012.
